Manage Google Settings on Your Phone

Can you remember a time when the answer to nearly every question wasn't "Google it"? Neither can we. You’ll always have all the answers with Google on your phone. Plus, you can tailor your phone’s Google settings to match your preferences.

Available screens and settings may vary by wireless service provider and software version.
